🧺 CARE INSTRUCTIONS — AMAZONAS “FLORIDA AQUA / FLORIDA BERRY / FLORIDA KIWI” HAMMOCKS Material: 80 % cotton (recycled), 20 % polyester Type: Classic fabric hammock (no spreader bars) ✅ Regular Use and Setup Inspect fabric, seams, and suspension ropes before each use. Hang so the hammock forms a natural, deep curve, never tight or flat. Keep clear of sharp edges, brick walls, or abrasive ground surfaces. Remove shoes, belts, or items that may snag or damage the fabric. Use only approved hanging systems rated for the hammock’s load capacity. Protect the woven eyelets: these loops are made from many thin cotton strings braided together. When attaching the hammock to a fixing point, always connect using a smooth surface such as a carabiner, metal ring, or hammock hook. Do not attach the eyelets directly to rope or rough materials, as friction can quickly damage the thin fibres and cause the loop to fray and unravel. 🧼 Cleaning Hand wash preferred using lukewarm water and mild detergent. If machine washing: Tie the suspension cords together to prevent tangling. Place the hammock inside a large pillowcase or laundry bag. Use a gentle 30 degree cycle with mild detergent. After washing, untie and shake out the hammock to restore its natural shape. Air dry flat or hang in a shaded, ventilated area until fully dry. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or use fabric softeners. Avoid strong direct sunlight while drying, as UV can fade colours and weaken fibres over time. 🌧 Weather and Storage Care Bring indoors or undercover during rain, frost, or prolonged damp weather. Avoid leaving the hammock exposed in strong winds, as the fabric can twist, wrap, or strain the suspension ropes. Always ensure the hammock is fully dry before folding or storing. Store loosely rolled in a breathable fabric bag, never sealed plastic. Avoid greenhouses, windowed sheds, or conservatories, as indirect sunlight through glass still causes slow UV fading. During winter, protect from rodents by storing in a sealed, rodent proof plastic container with a tight lid. Keep away from heaters and open flames, and choose a cool, shaded indoor space. 🔍 Maintenance Regularly check fabric and suspension cords for wear, fraying, or mildew. Spot clean minor stains with mild soap and water. Repair or replace any worn loops or ropes before use. Re tie knots as needed if they loosen over time. ⚠️ Safety and Longevity Tips Do not jump, stand, or swing aggressively in the hammock. Never exceed the stated weight capacity. Lie diagonally for best comfort and fabric support. Protect from prolonged UV exposure when not in use. Rotate occasionally to balance colour fade and wear. Always store dry, shaded, and rodent safe to maximise lifespan.
